Phew. No - but the hurt paws is slightly upsetting. I'd say a 2 out of 10 - not too bad.

not sure why people are saying no—a character has a dream in which her husband axes her in the head and her head is very much squashed by the ax.

However, a little boy's fingers are caught painfully in a slammed window. No bones are broken, but the parents point out how weird it was that none of his fingers were broken from that.

In the very beginning, they play the murder of the precious family. You don’t see a kid die. But you see him point the gun at each family member, hear shots, and know they are dead.

Yes, a character gets trapped in a walkin closet and begins to panic. They are eventually helped and (aside from being very distressed) are otherwise unharmed.
